It's an obscene amount of money, almost Roger Goodell-like, and when you suggest giving it to a defensive lineman, even one as good as Ndamukong Suh, most pundits and others across the NFL shake their head in disbelief.

Brandon Marshall made a brief appearance in the suite of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell during Super Bowl XLIX and now is the time to wonder if the wide receiver will be seen at Halas Hall when the new league year begins.

The Lions have had a wealth of talent on defense for a number of seasons, but it didn't come together until 2014.
Teryl Austin joined new coach Jim Caldwell's staff as a first-time NFL defensive coordinator and his immediate success has put him on the list for multiple teams seeking a head coach, including the Bears, who requested an interview for new general manager Ryan Pace, according to a league source.
Austin met with the 49ers on Thursday, the Falcons on Friday and was scheduled to meet with the...

Slowing running back DeMarco Murray is a huge key to stopping the Dallas Cowboys.
The Detroit Lions caught a big break in that regard this week when the NFL reduced the one-game suspension of All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a hefty fine.
Suh was punished for intentionally stepping on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and that seems to be a chronic problem with the Lions. Detroit center Dominic Raiola was suspended for the team's finale after stomping on the leg of a Chicago defensive...

Slowing running back DeMarco Murray is a huge key to stopping the Cowboys.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been suspended for his team's playoff game in Dallas on Sunday, the NFL announced Monday.
Suh stepped on the lower leg of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers as Rodgers lay on the ground during the fourth quarter of the Packers' 30-20 win Sunday.
On Sunday, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy called it "ridiculous" and said, "There's no place for that."
Before the news of the suspension came on Monday, Detroit coach Mike Caldwell said he had...

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn't put up his typical gaudy numbers Sunday. He didn't throw four touchdown passes or roll up 400 yards. He did something better.
He did the Lambeau Limp.
Rodgers, carted off in the first half with a calf injury, hobbled back in the second to lead the Packers to a 30-20 victory over Detroit for the NFC North title and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
"It's clearly an MVP performance — another MVP performance — by Aaron Rodgers," said Packers Coach...
